Nano Membrane Oxygen Separation
Global's technology provides a low cost way to generate oxygen for medical and industrial use. Using our unique nano-layer membranes in electrochemical oxygen pump separators outperforms thicker counterparts in the following ways:
- Higher permeances
- Lower materials and processing costs
- Lower operating temperatures
- No thermal expansion issues
- Improved thermal shock resistance
- Improved layer adhesion
Water Purification
There is an increasing industrial and societal need for affordable and efficient ways to purify water. Membranes are economical, environmentally friendly, versatile and easy to use, making them a leading choice for water purification applications. Global's low cost, inorganic mesoporous membranes have self-cleaning porous membrane layers made from piezoelectric materials. These membranes have a higher selectivity and permeance and are less susceptible to fouling compared with current inorganic membranes.
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Our lightweight, high efficiency, low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) technology does not require the amount of expensive materials that are used for the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, is much less fuel sensitive, and does not require complex water management.
Global’s nano-thickness membranes solution and new balance of system
approach solves these issues:
- Membrane material cost reduced by 100 times
- Stack cost reduced dramatically
- All manufacturing processes automated
- Efficiency increased at lower temperatures
- Operating temperature of 300°-600°C translated to a longer fuel cell operating life
- Faster startup times realized for SOFCs
